Since 1985, we have led efforts to purchase fair trade, organic coffee from farmers’ cooperatives to aid at improving their quality of life. We have been at the forefront of Human Rights support in Latin America through CoDevelopment Canada, while providing the opportunities for consumers to purchase ethical products.

Our Mission

Café Ético is an important social enterprise and our mission is to support small-scale coffee farmers in Latin America through our commitment to fair trade and sustainable farming methods. We also engage in educating Canadians about fair trade while maintaining the cooperation and wider support to social justice issues through CoDevelopment Canada.
